The Washington Tribune WAS KILLING OF REED BY POLICEMAN JUSTIFIED? All the News That's Fit to Print WAS KIL STRIKE CAUSES BAPTISTSTOPOST- PONECONVENTION IN LOS ANGELES Interest of Over 3,000,000 People Affected by the Decision PUT OFF INDEFINITELY Executive Committee Took Action Last Friday at Memphis A notice sent out from the headquarters of the National Baptist Convention this week tells of the postponement of the convention that was to have been held in Los Angeles, Calif., next week. It is hoped that the notice will stop the many delegates before they start. The following is the notice: The National Baptist Convention, representing a constituency of more than 3,000,000 Negroes, scheduled to meet in Los Angeles, California, September 6-11, has been indefinitely postponed. At a committee meeting of the Executive Board held in Memphis, Tennessee, August 25, it was unanimously decided to postpone said meeting because of railroad strike and other hazardous conditions. Baptists and friends throughout the country are asked to note this and be governed accordingly. By order of the Executivv Board, E. C. Morris, President; R. B. Hudson, Secretary. PILGRIMAGE OF BOCTORS VERY IMPRESSIVE The pilgrimage of the National Medical Association, Saturday, to the tomb of the unknown hero, the Lincoln Memorial and the home of Frederick Douglass, was a befitting ending of the Association's convention. About forty automobiles with about two hundred persons, formed the pilgrimage, which was formulated and managed by Dr. G. E. Cannon, of Jersey City and led by Dr. Wm. H. Wilson of Washington. The pilgrims assembled at the MuSo-Lit Club, on R Street and from there went direct to the tomb of the unknown hero. Dr. Cannon acted as master of ceremonies at each of the services. After a brief address he introduced Dr. E. T. Beltsaw, of Mobile, Ala., who delivered the oration for this occasion and Dr. F.-S. Hargrave, of Wilson, N. C., placed a wreath upon the tomb. From Arlington they went to the Lincoln Memorial. Dr. C. W. Childs, of Washington, delivered the oration. Dr. J. O. Plummer, of Raleigh, N. C., placed a wreath at the foot of the statute of Lincoln. The last place of the pilgrimage was that of the home of Frederick Douglass, recently dedicated to the people of the United States, by the Douglass Historical and Memorial Association, of which Mrs. Mary B. Talbert is president. Here Dr. Cannon introduced Dr. J. E. Perry, of Kansas City, Mo., president of the N. M. A. for this year. Dr. Perry said: "It is a fitting finale for N. M. A. to assemble here and pay our tribute to the man who did so much for our freedom, our prosperity and our homes." Dr. J. R. Levy of Florence, S. C., placed a wreath on the chair once used by the venerable Douglass. Dr. Cannon also introduced the Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., who made a brief address. Dr. C. W. Childs offered a motion for a vote of thanks, by the N. M. A. to Mrs. Talbert for her faithful service in restoring the home. BROWN MURDER REWARD GOES TO DR. JOHN FRANCIS Dr. John Francis, a dentist, has been awarded the reward of $1000 by the District Supreme Court for finding the slayer of Dr. Robert W. Brown, a wealthy physician, whose murder was a mystery for over a year. A controversy arose over the awarding of the reward. The National Benefit Society and Dr. Brown's daughters who offered the reward asked the court to decide who was entitled to the money. Mr. W. H. Robinson who identified Frye after he had been turned over to the police, also claimed the reward. MAN KILLED BY W. B. & A. TRAIN Sitting on Track, He Failed To Hear Warnings of Minister A colored man by the name of Robert Ragsdale of 1707 Twelfth St., N. W., was struck by local train No. 71 of the W. B. and a railroad in charge of conductor No. 218, at 6:45 A. M. Tuesday morning by an inbound car between Huntsville, Md. and the District line. Rev. Waite, a minister living at Huntsville, was walking down the track from the District line and saw the man sitting, and the car approaching from around the curve at full speed; he tried to reach the man but did not have sufficient time. It is not known why the man was sitting on the track, especially at this time of morning when so many cars were running. The motorman however, did not blow his whistle nor apply his brakes before striking the man. After hitting the man the car went some distance before it was stopped. When the motorman was told that he had struck a man, it is alleged that he said, that he thought it was a dog and that he did not see the man, for he was watching the other man running down the track. The man was injured internally and died before he could be gotten to the hospital. A $20 gold piece used as a watch charm was picked up beside the body and given the conductor. The inquest was held at Highland Park, Md., Wednesday in the office of Judge Weeks. Result of inquest could not be learned. DR. RILEY LECTURES HERE Dr. Riley, founder of the Riley System of Allied Science Work, has for the past three weeks conducted a most interesting course in Chiropractic and allied work to the colored Chiropractors of the city. The Doctor says that he never had a more interesting or intelligent class than these men and women who have mastered the Science as taught in Washington and many of them have become successful practitioners. For three weeks, each evening from seven o'clock until nine-thirty, the doctor imparted his advance work to this class. A full faculty has been selected by Dr. Riley for the colored school of Chiropractic in Washington which will teach the special Riley methods in the Science. Enrollments are now being made for the ensuing term which will begin September 11th. The following are the past graduates of this course: Henry Heath, D.C.; Mary E. Logan, D.C.; Mary Tyler, D.C.; Edmund Hill, D.C.; Arthur Curtis, D.C.; Ella Forrest, D.C.; Sylvester Blackwell, D.C.; Albert Hawkins, D.C.; G. W. Shelman, D.C.; Josephine Kenny, D.C.; A. I. Blake, D.C.; G. M. Blake, D.C.; Rosa J. Spain, D.C.; W. S. Mayo, D.C.; J. Jenkins, D.C.; J. E. Jenkyns, D.C.; J. J. Porter, D.C.; Rosetta Lawson, D.C.; O. F. N. Madden, D.C. Man Chased Through Streets at Late Hour by Policeman and Crowd CreatesMuch Excitement Man Chased Through Streets at Late Hour by Policeman and Crowd CreatesMuch Excitement Leonard Reed, 26, of 1514 12th St., Northwest, was fatally shot Wednesday night, on 12th Street, near New York Avenue, by policeman Ruleman, of the first precinct, who had joined special officer J. H. Hunt in an alleged chase after Reed. Officer Hunt stated at the Coroner's inquest Thursday that he had met Reed at 9th and New York Avenue about nine o'clock and after some conversation with him agreed to meet him at 12th and New York Avenue, later. About ten o'clock he met Reed and followed him into a room in the rear of 1215 New York Ave. Here he told Reed that he was under arrest. Reed decided that he would not go with him, so Hunt alleges, and a tussle ensued when Reed disarmed the officer, Hunt. Hunt alleged that Reed ran out of the room with the pistol in his hand, across New York Ave., thru an alley to H Street and East on H to 12th, turning North on 12th. Hunt blew his whistle and was joined by Patrolman Ruleman, who shot Reed on 12th Street. At the inquest, the physician of Emergency Hospital and the Deputy Coroner who performed an autopsy, testified that there were two bullets in Reed's body, one in the right hip, and another in the abdomen. A number of witnesses testified that the officer fired only one shot though it was not brought out where the other bullet came from or who fired it, which presented a discrepancy in the testimony not yet accounted for. Reed came here about ten or twelve years ago from his home in Charlotte, N. C. He was living at 1514 12th Street and Mrs. Johnson at whose house he roomed, said he was of good character and a fine young man. He CLOTHING CO. STARTS ON ITS SECOND YEAR The Imperial Commercial Clothing Company, 1214 U Street, Northwest, celebrated its first anniversary, Thursday, August 31st. This company was organized last year with six young men as stockholders. They purchased the ground and building at 1214 U Street and remodeled the building to suit their business. On August 31, 1921, the store was opened with Mr. Frederick T. Harris, president and manager. Mr. Harris said: "Our volume of business has exceeded our expectations for our first year. It takes time to become known and establish confidence. We have carried good merchandise and sold it at reasonable prices and have endeavored to have polite and considerate clerks. We have kept up our advertisements which have brought us many customers. We hope to give the public even better merchandise and render better service this coming year." The officers of the company are F. T. Harris, president; Robt. B. Ford, vice president; Votie D. Dixon, treasurer; Abram E. Harris, secretary; A. C. Gilmore, assistant secretary and Wm. Borden, assistant treasurer. The Imperial Commercial Company carries a complete line of gents' furnishings. The windows and show cases are alway attractively dressed and present an air of efficient management. A big incident of the first year with this company, was that the store was robbed four times. The lost sustained has hindered the progress some, but the fact that it has survived and in fine condition on entering its second year, speaks well for the management. was a world war veteran, having been attached to the medical corps of the 545 Engineers. He saw service in the Argonne Forest. Reed worked as a porter at the Metropolitan Bank before he went into the army and the officials there saved him his position until he returned, where he has been working ever since. The chase after Reed created quite a bit of excitement and was joined in by a number of men, the cry of "shoot him," "kill him," etc., being heard by many. As Reed was shot in the back twice, it is hard to fathom how he could have been facing the officer with a pointed gun, at the time he was shot as was alleged. Nor in breaking away from special officer Hunt, did he commit a felony. There was not a single word of testimony produced at the inquest to show that Reed made any threats while brandishing the gun in the chase. There was no warrant out for Reed. Therefore there still remains some doubts in the minds of many persons whether officer Ruleman was justified in killing Reed. Notwithstanding the officers and all those who testified stated only one shot was fired, two physicians testified that there were two bullet wounds in the body of Leonard Reed, of about the same size. The Coroner, however, did not develop this discrepancy to find out who fired the two shots. Which shot did Policeman Ruleman fire? It was claimed that the bullet in the abdomen was responsible for Reed's death. Did Ruleman fire that bullet? If he did, then who fired the one lodged in Reed's hip? It is probable that the Grand Jury will be called upon to find out where both of these shots came from. TRIBUNE'S BIG SWIMMING MEET ON LABOR DAY One of the biggest swimming tournaments ever held in Washington will be staged at the Howard Swimming Pool, corner of Fifth and W Sts., N.W. Labor Day, Sept. 4th at 2:30 p.m. This tournament will be staged under the auspices of the Washington Tribune and Life Guards Jos. Walker and Thomas Hughes of the Howard Pool. Much interest is being centered in this meet and it is hoped to make this feature an annual event. Many of the best swimmers in the District have been interested and will play a big part in all the events. Besides the regular events, there will be special exhibitions of the various methods of swimming, diving and special stunts by both men and girls. Mr. Walker and Hughes who have charge of the entrants have been putting the men through strenuous practices and all indications point to one of the best cards ever entered in a local meet. The Howard pool is the only one of its kind in the city for colored swimmers, and under the supervision of these two men, has become very popular among both male and female swimmers. This meet will show much of the work that has been done at this pool. A large crowd is expected to witness this meet; there will be no admission charge of any kind and the entire public is cordially invited to attend. The events will start at 2:30 P.M. TO HOLD BIG REVIVAL. Rev. Preston Fauntroy, pastor of Mt. Moab Baptist Church of Georgetown, will on the 10th of September, start a big revival. There will be preaching every night. WILLS $100,000 TO NEGRO EDUCATION Sandusky, Ohio.—According to a report current here, the will of the late James M. French of this city, bequeaths the returns from approximately $100,000 of his estate to Oberlin college, located at Oberlin, Ohio. The will specifies that the money must be used to advance Negro education. In case Oberlin fails to accept the bequest, the money is then to go to Wilberforce University, located at Wilberforce, Ohio. So far as is known, this is the first case on record where money has been left to a white college for the advancement of Negro Education. PASSAGE OF DYER BILL DEMANDED Need of Anti-Lynching Bill is Greater Now Than Ever Realizing the growing menace of lynching in America and the apparent laxity of those who administer the laws that deal with such crimes, The National Negro Press Association ad- dresse the following to the entire Negro population of the United States and to every law abiding citizen of this nation: Lynching, the most brutal, uncivilized and disgraceful method of putting human beings to death, is practiced almost wholly in America. During the last thirty-three years, 3424 such brutal crimes have been committed. Ninety-nine per cent of the unfortunate victims have been Negroes. About seventy-five per cent of these victims never had a trial in any kind of court. In 1921 fifty-two people were put to death by mobs. During the first six months of this year over thirty people met their death in this horrible manner. If this ratio continues, this year's record will exceed that of last year. Men were first the victims of the barbaric mobs, but now women and children are included in the mobbist list. The sanctity of Sunday has been trampled under the mob's feet and the church has become in many cases openly identified with the mob, as in Dyersburg, Tenn., a few years ago, when a church turned the congregation out, especially to attend the public burning of a Negro. The mobbist has discarded his mask and also ceased to confine his activities to the night time. Aeroplanes and automobiles have been used by the mob in hunting their victims. This state of affairs has become bearable to the Negro citizenship of the United States. During the last thirty-five years he has had little or no relief from this barbaic practice. The state governments, with few exceptions, have shown a lack of interest in the Negro's protection, or have proven themselves wholly inadequate to carry out their laws. Even the great Federal Government with all the power invested and implied in the President, Department of. Justice and the two houses of Congress, has so far failed to even curb, let alone stamp out, this evil which is eating at the vitals of the entire nation. Lynching is one of the very few things the Government seems impotent to stop. The time has come when this terrible state of affairs MUST be remedied. A bill designed to curb if not wholly put an end to lynching in the United States, is now waiting to be called up before the Senate for consideration and passage. This bill is known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13. The passage of a bill of this type, dealing with lynching, was pledged in the Republican platform of 1920, and in the President's first message to Congress he said: "Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching (Continued on page 8) Circulation Books Open To All STIFIED? APPEAL TAKEN ON COURT'S ACTION IN FLORIDA AVE. CHURCH CASE Auditor's Report Gives Rev. W. A. Taylor Clean Bill of Health SWORN TESTIMONY IGNORED Statements by Mr. Hooper That Vote Was Taken Not Considered Attorney Royal Hughes noted an appeal from the District Auditors report in the Florida Ave. Baptist Church case last Tuesday. When the appeal is granted the case will then go to the District Court of Appeals, which will convene some time this fall. The report rendered by Auditor Davis and ratified by the court, gave a list of the regular trustees and deacons of the church. The report then covered the findings of the Auditor in the hearings conducted to ascertain if Rev. Taylor, the pastor, was ousted by a majority of the members present at the meeting held Dec. 16th. The Auditor reported that Rev. Taylor was not ousted at this meeting. A list of 550 names of bona fide member of the Florida Ave. Church is also in the report. The Auditor's report also includes a statement of the conditions at this church as seen by the auditor; and advises the members in a personal way as to what they should do. The exceptions noted in Atty. Hughes appeal is that the report fails to take into consideration the testimony given by Mr. Hooper that a majority vote was taken to oust the pastor and the result was not declared by the moderator. A list of 950 names was presented the court by a committee from both sides as being the bona fide members; this list was ignored and the one submitted by the church clerk containing 550 names was accepted. Much interest is manifested in the report and subsequent action because on this hangs the status of a very large number of the members of this church. Attorneys Thos. L. Jones, Royal A. Huges and George Hayes represent one faction while Attorneys Armond Scott and Chas. Stewart represent the other faction.

HINO Students' Corner HOW TO HOLD THE VIOLIN All teachers have agreed that the player's pose should be as natural and unconstrained as possible. This, however, fails to prevent opinions from varying enormously on the simple question of how to "hold" the violin. Spohr and David, Beriot, Singer, Courvoisier, Papini, Baillot, Schroeder, Wassmann—all hold varying opinions on it. Now, about one thing there can be no doubt: the left hand should in no case be strained by the holding of the instrument, for its function is literally TO PLAY. Hence, the question: how and where does the violin rest? By reason of its structure, it demands as flat a support as possible, if it is really to remain still. The collar-bone, a part of the chest, and the shoulder should unite to give the desired foundation. As far as the action of the thumb is concerned, this does not consist of any pressure upon the violin's neck, as this would hamper the hand's freedom of motion. Rather, the thumb's particular service is to provide a counter or basis for the pressure of the stopping fingers, gliding back and forth together with the latter in shifting. The contact between index finger and neck is constant, except when playing in higher positions. The player, standing on the left foot, while the right foot is placed one step forward, must preserve an erect posture. The left arm must be held high enough to bring the scroll to the level of the eye line, and it should not be kept in front of the player's face, but slightly to the left. The elbow is to be held well under the violin and it has to be moved conspicuously towards the right, when playing on the two lowest strings. The wrist must be curved moderately in an outward direction, and the fingers must be held above the strings, well rounded and ready to fall at any desirable place with the greatest possible flexibility. All these rules refer principally to the first position. An absolutely uniform holding of the violin, viz., an UNCHANGED condition and attitude of arm, hand and fingers equally answering all cases, is non-existent. Various problems encountered in playing the violin cause many modifications in its holding. QUESTIONAIRE 1. Name the Five greatest violinists of the Colored race and birthplace? 2.

Phone North 3295 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 Actors of the Past Actors of the Past By Quentin Ada Overton (Walker) the dancer was born in New York City and began her stage career very young. My first knowledge of her was when she appeared in Williams and Walker's first show in 1899 having as a partner Grace Holliday. Since the first show of Williams and Walker was little more than a burlesque, being in two acts with an olio between them, Ada and partner appeared in the choruses and as a song and dance team in the olio. When this show was taken off, Ada joined Black Patti Co. Rejoining Williams and Walker's new production "A Lucky Coon" where she scored heavily with her new creations "Jungle Dances." Ada continued along this line of work as her former partner had become the wife of one of the Mallory Bros. and retired from the stage. It was in London that Miss Overton scored her greatest success while appearing in Dahomey. Returning to this country she married George Walker one of the Principals in the cast. She continued to be featured in all of their companies until the death of her husband, then leaving on account of disagreement about billing her name. Later we find her with Cole and Johnson's Red Moon Co. having her usual success. After a season with this aggregation she went into vaudeville. Miss Overton won the second prize in popularity contest awarded by a New York daily to the most popular actress, being beaten only by the famous Eva Tanguay. Ada's last appearance in this city was at the Howard Theatre, featuring Ford Dabney's song, "Porto Rico," probably in about 1912. In the following year after a short illness she died at her home in New York. LOCALS LOCALS The National Mutual Improvement Association, of which John W.

"I could stand being just a poor little seamstress, Spry, although it is a tumble for Colonel Taintor's daughter, if only I didn't have to sew on gorgeous wedding/gowns and dainty underwear. It makes me so lonely and blue and I simply can't keep from thinking of Jim when I'm working on them. If his health hadn't broken down and he hadn't gone away or if he could only have understood that I would rather have married him sick than not at all. But what's the use of fretting, Spry?" the girl broke off. Mother has to be kept in medicines and comforts, and if it takes trousseaux to do it then trousseaux I'll make—that's all." The collel lying at Evelyn Taintor's feet opened one brown eye lazily, gave two feeble flops to his bushy tail and closed his eye again. He was accustomed to hearing her talk to him and he knew that he would have no peace until he showed some sign of understanding and sympathy, so he had long ago formed the habit of wagging his tail in his sleep whenever he heard his name mentioned. The girl stitched away busily on the tiny, handsome tucks and tried to make herself believe that she enjoyed the soft radiance on Miss Connor's face when she came to be fitted. "When do I have to come back to be tried on?" Miss Connor asked the next time she came. "It won't be necessary for a week or so. You see, we're practically the same size—except for the best dresses I can get along pretty well without you." "That's a fact, though I never noticed it before," said Dorothy. Evelyn worked early and late on the pretty things, stitching as earnestly and with as much interest as if they were to be hers. When at last the wedding dress was finished, Evelyn wrapped it tenderly in tissue paper and put it in its box. It was a wonderful thing of purest white and that night after she had packed it away she could not sleep for thinking about it. In the dark she could see it in front of her shimmering white—each fold in its place. "I-I've never tried it on. I wonder how I'd look in it," she said. Without taking time to think she leapt out of bed and flashed on the light. For a long while she sat in front of her mirror fixing her hair in its softest, most girlish way, then she slipped on her underclothes and went out into the dark sewing room. At every step she stopped to listen for a sound from her mother's room, but she was still sleeping quietly. The next morning she rose early and went to work on prosy underwear, but to Evelyn nothing was prosy any more. Each garment seemed alive to her and she worked with a feeling of love toward them. Her reflections were interrupted by the tingling of the telephone at her elbow. "Miss Traintor?" said a voice at the other end. "This is Dorothy Connor. I—I just wanted to say that I shan't need the trousseau. Do anything you like with it—keep it—throw it away—give it away; I don't care—I never want to see it again—it would kill me. Send the bill." With a sob Miss Connor hung up the receiver and for a minute Evelyn sat in her chair stunned. She went through the day's work mechanically, scarcely realizing what she was doing. It must have been a year later that Evelyn read of Miss Connor's elopement with Tom Farlingham. That day she got out the almost forgotten trousseau and had another dress rehearsal. "I felt bitter toward it for a while after she split up, but I guess I love it again now and I'll keep it—it's mine," she told herself. "I really am so wonderful in this dress," she couldn't help confessing to herself as a few minutes later she stood once more in front of the long mirror. The door bell rang sharply and Evelyn held up her hands in dismay. What should she do? If it rang again, it would certainly wake her mother who was just getting a little nap after a night of pain. She slipped down the hall and opening the door a crack put her head around the corner. "J-Jim! Oh, Jim!" she said, rushing toward him. "Good Lord, Evelyn!" he exclaimed staring at the gown. "It can't be so, Don't—don't say this is your wedding day. I—I came back hoping you'd waited for me. I dropped our correspondence because my recovery was so uncertain I didn't feel I had the right to ask you to wait." Then she told him all about the trousseau. "Let's go right now, my darling, and get married," he pleaded. "I don't want any more scares like this one. I can't bear another hour away from you. You'll never know what it's been like hoping and praying and waiting and wondering and fighting all the time—fighting an almost hopeless fight. "I've hoped and prayed and waited and wondered too, but it's all been so very worth while," she sighed happily as she crept a little closer into his strong arms and let the tears of joy fall unheeded on his coat. Miss Dora Price of Bellaire, Ohio, is in the city, guest of friends. Miss Price will teach school in Maryland this winter.

HARRY WILLS KNOCKS OUT JACKSON Tut Jackson came, saw and was conquered before a crowd of 15,000 people at Ebbit's Field Brooklyn, Tuesday night, at the hands of the mighty Harry Wills. Harry lost no time; getting busy in the first round, landing two punches to the body of Jackson who began holding on for dear life. The referee had difficulty to get Jackson to break away. Wills continued to lambast him until near the end of the round when he shot a terrific right to the jaw flooring Jackson. He remained down until the count of seven. The bell rang before Wills could follow up his advantage. The second round was practically the same as the first; Wills hitting his opponent as he pleased. Jackson failed to land a punch during either of the two rounds. The third and final round—Harry put hard rights to Tut's jaw while in a clinch, but Jackson held on. After being separated.

The batteries for the Piedmonts were Spike Bland and Banks; St. Cyprians, Fox, Harris, Parker and Greenfield. The Piedmonts simply were not to be denied. In one iming the St. Cyprians had the bases loaded with but one out, but lacked the necessary pnch to knock in a run. The Piedmonts outclassed the Catholic boys in every department of play. Bland yielded only four hits during the game. BLACK SOX WIN. The Deanwood Black Sox defeated the Imperials last Saturday at 48th and Dean Ave., by the score of 7 to 1.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 I cannot refrain from again telling you of the remarkable results I am receiving through my advertising in the Tribune. I note that the greatest returns from my advertising in The Tribune; come from Motorists of wide experience who can appreciate quality. It is apparently a newspaper of the man who thinks for himself. I have in my shop-eight experienced mechanics, but I am compelled to put on extra men to take care of the rush of work that follows my add in your valuable paper. Further, I cannot help but comment upon the service and position that you usually accord me. It is indeed a source of gratification to have such a splendid co-operating,pulling advertising medium in this City. Looking through the "Billboard" of a recent date, I ran acros , this article on the editorial page: "Do not blame the colored performers for the smut with which the lines, lyrics and business of the recent Broadway (Plantation Revue and Strut Miss Lizzie) productions have been loaded. Put it where it belongs, on the white cretins and moral lepers who promoted and staged the offerings. The Negro artists protested earnestly and vigorously over the filthy material, but vainly. Their objections were overridden and their pleas disregarded.

One of he most interesting weeks at Camp Lihocowo came to a close on Monday, Aug. 28, when the Blue Triangle and Dramatic Clubs of the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. Girl Reserves left for home. These girls went to camp August 14, with twenty-eight in the group. The camp was crowded to the utmost, but the girls in good spirit overlooked all inconveniences as became good campers and set about having a good time. The group took up with enthusiasm the many activities offered at the camp. One of the features most enjoyed by all being the camp fires on the beach. A most inspiring camp fire was held in the woods on the lake shore on Wednesday morning at sunrise. The girls rowed across the lake and built the fire on which their breakfast was cooked in true camp fashion, after which Devotions were held. The object of the dramatics at camp has been to train the girls to make their own plays from given plots and to learn to produce them in a short time. No group has taken longer than a week to prepare a play, and the Dramatic and Blue Triangle Clubs were able to give three plays during their stay at the camp. "Old Pipes" and "The Dryad" in which Wenonah Bond, Hortense Mims, Lizzie Glass, and Grace Ridgeley took the principal parts; "Mock Trial" in which Vernice Diggs as the judge and Julia Delany as the counsel for the defense were the leading characters; and "The Ghost Story" directed by Carolyn Evans who with Amelia Wormley took the principal roles. On last Monday morning the entire group took the five mile hike to Annapolis where they enjoyed a picnic dinner in the park, returning tired but happy to camp in the afternoon. All the girls feel that the camp has greatly benefited them and inspired by the training received there through their games, their camp fires, "sings," and helpful talks given by their interested visitors, they are quite ready to take up their fall work with earnestness. Among the many visitors at Camp Lihocowo during the past two weeks were Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Williams and daughters, Dr. and Mrs. Albert Ridgley and family, Mr. and Mrs. Mims From the architect to the painters—bricklayers, carpenters, steel constructors, cement workers, steam fitters and even tile setters—all the money spent in the erection of this building went into the hands of Colored men.

Camp Lihocowo Holds Swimming Meet The Girls Reserves of the Y. W. C. A. who are camping at Arundel on the Chesapeake Bay held a swimming meet on Thursday August 24. Altho the bay was very rough and the waves tossed as they do in the ocean, the girls did some fine swimming and were glad of the opportunity to see what they could do under such conditions. Points were given to those showing skill in diving, different strokes, life saving, swimming under water, plunge for distance and fifty yard dash. Louise Jefferson, who is an excellent swimmer, won the greatest number of points while Portia Leonard, Marvel Coates, Genevieve Francis, Doris Ridgley and Sylvia Wormley won the next highest honors. Portia Leonard starred in winning 2 events—the swimming under water for the greatest distance and the 50 yard dash. The plunge for distance was won by Doris Ridgley. Other girls who won points in the contest were Julia Delaney and Amelia Wormley. Many girls have learned to swim this summer while at camp.

RESPONSIBILITY OF POLICE OFFICERS The promiscuous shooting of Negroes by police officers in the District brings out the fact that there is too much carelessness on the part of the policemen of the District with their pistols, where Negroes are concerned. The shooting of a wounded man in Garfield Hospital Wednesday, by a prohibition officer and the killing of Leonard Reed Wednesday night, on 12th Street, are examples of recklessness with firearms which smacks of misused authority. In almost every case where there is trouble between police officers and colored citizens of the District, the officers are from Southern states. Policeman R. F. Reh, who beat up James Hawkins last year at the ball park, was from North Carolina. Policeman Ford, who was unable to give a correct account of the drowning of Miss Evelyn Johnson, in the C. & O. Canal last August was a Southerner and C. C. Spalding, formerly of precinct 10, who beat up Miss Johnson on Fairmont Street last year was also from the South. Special officer J. H. Hunt, who alleged that Leonard Reed disarmed him in a room in the rear of 1215 New York Avenue, Wednesday night, testified that he was from Norfolk, Va. These Southern policemen let their color prejudices run away with their reason, therefore mis By The Way (Amzi Hamilton) The Ku Klux Klan rides into the Capitol of the United States in the person of a senator from Texas, one Earle B. Mayfield by name. The election has not been held, but in Texas such a trifle is immaterial. There is only one major political party in Texas: the Democratic party of the white people of Texas, and whoever wins the party nomination has practically been elected to the office for which he has been nominated. The real election is but a matter of form. So as nominee of the Democratic party of the white people of Texas for the office of senator of the United States from Texas, endorsed by the Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the said Earle B. Mayfield stands as good as elected. As the endorsed candidate of the Ku Klux Klan the Honorable Mr. Mayfield is in honor bound to raise the fiery cross in the chambers of the Senate and to give the national government a complete and guaranteed program for "disposing of the nigger problem as we do down in the grand old lone star state of Texas." Humbly we suggest as lesson number 1: a midnight conclave of the Knights of the Klan on the Capitol Plaza in honor of the substitution of the fiery cross for the goddess of liberty on the dome of the Capitol; lesson number 2: a Negro burnt at the stake on the Capitol Plaza at high noon before a gallery of accredited representatives of NEXT WEEK AT THE LINCOLN The coming week at the Lincoln will offer a variety of good productions including such stars as Harold Lloyd, Marion Davies, Dorothy Dalton and Katherine McDonald. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday Harold Lloyd, the Pathe favorite will be seen in "Sailor Made Man," a picture that affords many laughs and much wholesome entertainment. "Beauty's Worth," in which Marion Davies stars, On Wednesday and Thursday Dorothy Dalton will appear in "Crimson Challenge," a well produced Paramount feature. Friday and Saturday, Katherine McDonald, that rapidly advancing First National star, will be seen in "Domestic Relations," a screen drama that is unique in its setting and strong in its portrayal of human life and a woman's devotion. GRAND REOPENING HOWARD THEATRE SEPT. 11TH The management of the Howard Theatre announces the Reopening of the theatre for the season on Monday, Sept. 11th.

POLICE OFFICERS use their authority when they come in contact with colored people. Misused authority by police officers of the District and the printing of their pictures along with the accounts of their reckless shootings will do much to provoke united resistance on the part of the colored citizens of the District. Remember the incidents leading up to the riot of 1919. We hope that it will never be repeated. Altho the Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide, in the case of Policeman Ruleman killing Leonard Reed, it is felt by some persons who heard the testimony that Reed's actions did not justify the shooting. The charge against Reed was not a felony. Patrolman Ruleman was not placed on the witness stand. During the hearing Coroner Nevit, called down two witnesses R. F. Harris, and C. C. Lindsey, an employee of the Evening Star, for using the term "nigger" in their testimony. Their color prejudice was outstanding and the word "nigger" came from their lips in the rankest cracker style. While there is no desire on our part to justify the crimes of our people, policemen should be made to realize the responsibility for human life, whether than human has a black or a white skin. the foreign nations; lesson number 3: a lecture to the Supreme Court by a klansman in full regalia on the superiority of the tenents of the invisible empire over the constitution of the United States; Lesson number 4: introduction of a bill to make all government officials wear white robes and hoods while carying out the functions of their offices; lesson number 5: a bill to close all Negro Schools. We must, however, be fair by Texas lest we lower ourselves to the level of the Klan. The Honorable Earle B. Mayfield was also indorsed by the Anti-Saloon League as opposed to the other candidate, James E. Ferguson, who as a former Governor of Texas had been impeached in that office. Moreover, all the Ku Klux Klan candidates on the state ticket were conclusively defeated. It may be then that Mayfield won the nomination not because of the Ku Klux Klan backing, but in spite of it. Yet it is a sad commentary of the state of civic sense and general intelligence of the white people in Texas when such a matter as the Ku Klux Klan formed perhaps the dominant issue in the primary campaign to the subordination of the tariff, bonus, ship subsidy, strikes and all other questions of national importance. The reason is that Texas is so obsessed with keeping its Negro and Mexican population servile and ignorant and maintaining the God given supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon race that it has no time to think of anything else. It deliberately stays in the muck and mire itself in order to keep the Negro there and its eyes are so filled with bigotry and slime that it cannot see the hate growing in the hearts of the Negro and Mexican and the volcano which may one day make a sad star out of the now lone star state. will be a profitable one for both the public and the house. Many big attractions have been booked for the public's approval during the theatre season. A show which has been one of the big hits of the Chicago theatrical season, "FOLLOW ME" will stop off on the jump from the Windy City and play a limited engagement in Washington, preceding the opening of the company's New York run. The management of the Howard theatre, announces that has engaged this noted organization for the Howard, on reports from Chicago, of the successful run at the Grand Theatre, where it is now playing to capacity. DIRECTOR USES CREEPY MUSIC TO INJECT REALISM INTO "THE WOMAN GOD CHANGED" Robert G. Vignola who directed "The Woman God Changed" a Cosmopolitan production for Paramount which will be shown at the Dunbar theatre next Monday and Tuesday, is a firm believer in the power of music to arouse emotions which are visible through facial expression, and he employs it in and out of season to get his characters BUNE NG CO., Inc.

In no case has this been so effective as in "The Woman God Changed." This story is one of riotous living and, the heroine, acted by Seena Owen, finally lands in court. Now, one might have left Seena to fake an expression of misery. Not so Vignola. The director who believes in realism, produced real grief and misery.

PASSAGE OF DYER BILL DEMANDED (Continued from page 1) from the banner of a free and orderly representative democracy." The time for the Republican party to carry out its pledges is now here. With a majority in the Senate now larger than ever in its history, and a bill which is declared by many to be sufficiently adequate in its provisions to curb and eventually to stop lynching, the Negroes of this country, through their press demand that this bill be passed before the present session of Congress adjourns. This bill is not a party measure, but is a measure for humanity. Prominent Democrats as well as Republicans have condemned lynching in strong terms. The end of this damnable disgrace and terrible blot on civilization must stop and to this end the Negro Press and all lawabiding citizens pledge their unceasing vigilance. No excuse will be accepted from supposed political friends for their failure to pass this needed legislation. The Senate has the power and the time to pass it, and the Senators owe it to humanity and their country to do it. There can be no plausable excuse for a refusal to pass this legislation which is so woefully needed NOW. The Congress has appropriated and the Government has paid to other Governments no less a sum than $792,499.39 to compensate the murder by lynching of foreign citizens by American mobs; and there are now with the Department of State unadjusted claims for a large amount for similar murders of Austrians, Greeks Japanese and Italians. This sum of $792,499.39 was paid for less than 100 lives of foreigners taken by mobs. The inquiry is pertinent: If we have paid $792,499.39 for less than 100 murdered foreigners, how much has the country lost by the unjustifiable murder of 3424 Americans killed by mobs during the last thirty-three years. If this Government can compensate families of Foreigners who have been killed on this soil, surely it can not do less than protect its own citizens in their homes.
